I have diamond tweak and wake on sms is disabled (by default even)... and even the registry key is set to disable wake on sms, but the phone still wakes up and shows the screen when i get a text...
I'm guessing it has to do with the sprint stuff on the phone but i don't see what would have changed it... (it has done this since i got the phone so it hasn't CHANGED... i just mean something that would have made it not work as intended)... maybe it's checking a different key?...
Does anyone know a way to make sure the screen doesn't come up when i get a text?... I just want it to ring / vibrate... even the little circle button light is fine... but not the screen
You don't want the device to wake (i.e. turn on the screen/backlight) or you don't want the device to show the text message itself?
If you've used the registry editor to disable wake on sms, I'm guessing you're trying to resolve the other issue. Under sounds and notifications, where you change your SMS tones, is a box for displaying incoming text in a pop up window. hope this helps

There's been this issue with the Nike that when you enable vibration on incoming SMS alerts, it will at a certain point vibrate endlessly, and the only way to stop the vibration is to pull out the battery (if I can recall it right, even a soft reset won't stop it).
I don't know if there has been a fix for this already but I'm just gonna post this for people who wants their phone to vibrate when receiving SMS
The workaround is really simple, just download the app OS Remind Me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=hide+sim+contacts
Enable the vibration option and check the option "Unread SMS". On the "Alarm Sound" option, choose another kind of sound, one that makes less noise like the Default.wav, BECAUSE it will play at the same time with your default SMS alert tone and will mix up the sounds. Finally, make sure the program is running! Don't close it, use the "hide" function so it stays up and running.
And taadaaaaa... every time someone texts you it will vibrate
Thank you to whoever made this app!
I have this issue. I have my Sprint Touch Pro I have it in the case and sometimes when I am driving and a SMS comes in the light turns on and because its in my case it dials numbers etc. Is there a way of disabling the light when a SMS is coming in. There isn't anything under Settings and Sounds and Notifications that will disable the light from coming on during an incoming sms.
I think if you use Advanced Config or Diamond Tweak (either one of this has it, or maybe they both do, I don't remember) there's a way to disable the wake up on SMS. That should help accomplish what you want.
Ultimately though, you should probably run something like S2U2 (that's what I do).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I will try that and I will attempt to get S2U2
My HD2 "wakes up" when a new SMS is recieved and displays the message in a box on screen.
This dosn't seem to work for Emails (unless the phone is on).... is that correct??
If this is by design, any hints to achieve this would be welcomed.
Thanks

i think that's by design. find out the registry edit to make the SMS wake up when it does & see if you can replicate that for emails.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it has something to do with my settings.
This has happened a couple times lately but after ending a call the lockscreen appears and continuously switches back and forth from sleep to lockscreen. The notification bar is highlighted green and if I am lucky or quick enough I can swype my passcode and bring down the notification bar. From there I have to end the call again if it doesn't just go back to sleep or the lockscreen.
This is my first smartphone and touch screen so do you think I am not ending the call properly, i.e. not touching the end call long enough, or would it have something to do with my screen timeout settings. Or am I just missing something completely.
Thanks,
Wing
It does that after you end a call? The notification bar will go green when you are in a call and, say, go to an app...essentially what you are doing is putting the "phone" app as a background app, and the notification bar is green to let you know you are in a call...I've never seen it after ending a call. Are you sure the call is actually ending? You should just have to press "end call" and it will end it.
Okay. Yeah I guess I'm not ending it properly but it is odd how when the phone call is not ended and the lockscreen appears, it flashes back and forth so quickly that it makes it very difficult to unlock and end it. I don't think I am pressing the power button to lock so I am guessing it is the screen timeout settings. Thanks.
There is an app called Flash Notification 2 & this has options where you can pick a color & the screen lights up / flashes when you get text messages & phone calls
Now what I am wondering is are there any more apps with this type of feature ? I like the idea of it but I am not looking for a flashing screen screen but instead something like where the screen just stays on with the color of my choice until I respond to it & nothing weird in the middle. Im trying to notice new text messages & phone calls & voice mails through visual means instead of audio means
